Actually it kind of is. The way I see it is that a Sangha is a group of people that get together to study and practice the Way or Buddhism. Of course, Jundo is the certified teacher on the forum and he has made this place for us to meet, but it's also up to the Sangha as well to make this a place that we want to meet at. Just my view.

That's kind of why I do the Photo sections and stuff. If I can't make a donation to the Sangha then I guess that just my form of Samu.

Will,

You obviously missed the part in the 'cult' discussion about my being infallible, and needing to approve all decisions about what goes on here. :-)

Actually, I agree with your philosophy about this place. I guess my main role around here is to break up fistfights (not necessary even once yet) and to keep some kind of focus of Zen, Zazen, Buddhism ... although people can really discuss anything they want on the forum. I suppose I will also continue to step in when I think that some assertion made by somebody is full of Dharma-baloney. That's my job, man.
